A SHOCKING video has warned that a massive asteroid will strike the Earth in June, killing millions of people after causing a global tsunami and magnitude 12 killer earthquake.

The chilling claims uploaded to YouTube alleges the space rock will land in the ocean off the coast of Puerto Rico at 2am local time on June 23.

The video entitled '[NOT A HOAX] Urgent Warning to Earth! MASSIVE Asteroid will hit Earth on June 23rd 2017' warns the events will be caused by God before the Rapture, and the only way to survive will be by following Jesus Christ.
